Four Dallas restaurants will have to undergo follow-ups after inspectors found health care violations in the businesses, according to data from the county compiled by the Star-Telegram.

- 59 and below (Unacceptable - Closure; requires inspection before reopening)
The four restaurants that needed reinspection were Tacos Al 100 with a score of 70, Bengal Food Store with a score of 71, Goodluck Chicken and Seafood with a score of 73, and Sheger Ethiopian Grocery with a score of 76.
